²tn Heb “the eyes of all Israel are upon you to declare to them who will sit on the throne of my master the king after him.”

³tn Heb “and all the people went up after him, and the people were playing flutes and rejoicing with great joy and the ground split open at the sound of them.” The verb בָּקַע (baqa’, “to split open”), which elsewhere describes the effects of an earthquake, is obviously here an exaggeration for the sake of emphasis.

⁵tn Heb “which Hiram made for King Solomon [for] the house of the Lord.”

⁷tn Heb “the bread of the face [or presence].” Many recent English versions employ “the bread of the Presence,” although this does not convey much to the modern reader.

¹⁰tn Heb “to walk in all his ways.”

¹¹tn Heb “keep.”

¹¹tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Nadab, and all which he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?”
